In Hotel Transylvania, the world’s most famous monsters – including Dracula, Frankenstein, the Werewolf, the Mummy and the Invisible Man – are just like "regular people", with families and problems and a need to get away from it all.. Hiding from a world that thinks they're monsters, Hotel Transylvania
seems like the only place where they can finally rest in peace! But not until an
ordinary human appears!
Sony Pictures Animations has just released seven character posters and at InCinemas, we've also included a short introduction to each of them! Hit the jump and get to know more about HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA, which is slated to open in Singapore
theatres 15 November 2012!
“Hotel Transylvania is a story about a father and a daughter – it’s just that the father happens to be Dracula,” says Genndy Tartakovsky, director of the Sony Pictures Animation film, Hotel Transylvania. “Like all fathers, he’s an overprotective, psychotic, and endearing guy who'd do anything for his daughter, but unlike other fathers, he’s the Prince of Darkness.”

Adam Sandler is Dracula!
All of the qualities that make the Prince of Darkness the indisputable leader of monsters – his strength, dominance, charisma, and perhaps over-controlling nature – also happen to make him an excellent hotel manager. Problem is, where his daughter Mavis is concerned, he’s a softy. Fearful for his daughter’s safety, he’s kept her in the sanctuary of his hotel her entire life, away from the torch-wielding humans he remembers so well.
But now, on the eve of her 118th birthday, he must keep a promise he made to let her see the world for the first time. Unfortunately, in the midst of this, a hotel brimming with monster guests, and the unexpected arrival of the first human ever to set foot in the castle, Drac’s well-laid plans start to unravel fast. What is a doting vampire father to do—continue to protect Mavis from the threat of humans, or relinquish control and let her spread her (bat) wings and fly…?

Selena Gomez is Mavis!
Mavis is totally pampered by her father; however, she is headstrong and smart, and in many ways, a typical 118-year-old teenage girl. She’s grown slightly bored with the domain of her childhood—she has lived within her father’s hotel and its grounds all her life—and she longs to travel, experience life and see the world. Now, she’s met a newcomer who could make that a real possibility: but should she leave and risk breaking her father’s heart, or remain, and break her own?

Andy Samberg is Johnnystein!
Jonathan is a typical 21-year-old human, backpacking his way across Europe in his continuing worldwide travels. He’s confident, full of life, talkative, curious and good-natured—not to mention amazing on a skateboard. His motto is “just roll with it." Now, in his wandering, he’s stumbled onto a hotel full of…monsters!?
To help him blend in (and keep the monsters unaware of the security breach), Drac disguises him as Johnnystein, Frankenstein’s supposed cousin. Drac's plan backfires, however, when his daughter Mavis and ‘Johnnystein’ hit it off, and Jonathan ignores his earlier promise to Drac, to run at his first opportunity. Because hey, this monster thing is kind of cool – and he’s intrigued by a cute teenage vampire girl.

Kevin James is Frankenstein!
Dracula’s best friend (and Mavis’ favorite “Uncle Frank”) is none other than Frankenstein—an oversized working man with an even bigger heart. It’s been a long time since this monster stormed through the countryside, frightening villagers and constables alike.
Now, he’s an unassuming married man who loves his adoptive family, Drac and Mavis. Imagine his surprise when he and his wife Eunice show up for Mavis’ 118th birthday party—and he is introduced to a cousin he’s never met, Johnnystein (human Jonathan in a last-minute disguise). Well, family is family, even if he looks a little strange, and Frank is happy to get to know his somewhat short and newly discovered relative.

Fran Drescher is Frankenstein's Wife!
Eunice is Frankenstein’s beloved wife. What Frank lacks in forcefulness, Eunice more than makes up for. She’s critical, brash and can have an ‘in your face’ attitude, but underneath it all, she’s a loving family woman.

Steve Buscemi is The Werewolf!
Wayne is a werewolf, a miserable data processor by day and a put-upon father by night. He and his wife Wanda have produced litter after litter of pups, and as a result, he barely has the energy to get through a day and has lost most of his sense of smell from a barrage of poopie diapers.
So even though he arrives with his misbehaved children and pregnant wife in tow, Wayne can’t wait for his vacation at Hotel Transylvania to begin. He can let his hair down and just be himself, and maybe even take in a nap or two. But perhaps the best part about visiting the cavernous old resort is that he might just be able to hide from his kids for most of the holiday.

David Spare is The Invisible Man!
The infamous Invisible Man has a name, and it’s Griffin. He’s good at lurking, and because no one can see him, he has a frustrating habit of blindsiding his friends. He’s always ready with a funny quip… but while he can dish it out, he can’t take it – he’s really sensitive, especially about his curly red hair.
